nvAlt redux
Yesterday
I had a Synology-based remote-accessible note system for a while. After trouble shooting failures a dozen or more times, I went back to an off-the-shelf solution.
nvAlt redux

Supposedly because nvUltra, a modern version of nvAlt has been promised since the early Roosevelt administration (the first Roosevelt), but has never been close to public release, the developer decide...

"Software Untouched by Human Hands" -- has a moderne `50s vibe.
I don't know how many of the flood of new, or newly discovered, apps that have been posted here in the past month or so are vibecoded / AI assisted, but it's beginning to look like there's nothing new...
Understory for Mac - Outlining at the note level

Thank you @Allen. Perhaps a reasonable-priced alternative to Ulysses.
Curio 34 is out

Very nice, Stephen, thank you.
For deeper dives, Zengobi provides a couple of feature roundups that are useful:

It would be useful to have a website with screen shots, etc., that show the app's features. (In English please.). I wouldn't pay for an app sight unseen.
Vellum ("local-first" knowledge graph)
2 weeks ago
The Vellum devs are working with me to figure out why my Tana import hangs -- they are terrific. I admire this stage of an app's life when the developers are open to spending time with users, who ha...
Vellum ("local-first" knowledge graph)

I received access to the Vellum beta and Discord. I've had no success in importing my Tana workspace -- it's 95,000 nodes and very complex with lots of images, supertags, and plugins, so I'm not sur...
Novelist -- Another writing app

We dedicated CRIMPers will brook no cure! Onward to the next download.
Vellum ("local-first" knowledge graph)

I don't think this is the same "Vellum" that's been mentioned here before, but, whatever, it looks interesting. I don't have a copy, just on the waiting list. It uses a SQL database, which I'm not...

Probabilistically, yes.
StoryServer - out of beta

There's a download mentioned on this page

but the link leads to someone's Google Drive. Uh uh. I'm not downloading software from a site like...
StoryServer - out of beta

Thanks for this @Polywick Studio. Ecco Pro redux is welcome.
Reading your documentation, I learned about the "year 2038 problem", which I had never heard about. Here we go again, Y2K, only wors...
Ahti - a writing app for Mac, iPad, and iPhone

Yeah, sure, that works too, though this is the right syntax:
sudo find /Applications -type d -name Electron\ Framework.framework
I said nothing about AI miracles, I just used a utility -- nothin...

Inside the .app package, this folder is the signature of an Electron app:
Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework
You could check apps one by one, but I gave Claude temporary access to ...
Ahti - a writing app for Mac, iPad, and iPhone

That's almost certainly the result of whether the app was built natively on macOS with Swift or Objective-C, calling pre-existing macOS frameworks, or whether the app is an Electron or similar. The l...
How outlining changes in AI times?

After upgrading to macOS 27 several AppleScripts I had in Typinator stopped working, because they depended on an obsolete JSON parser that Golden Gate refused to run. I gave them to Claude which rew...
Ahti - a writing app for Mac, iPad, and iPhone

I don't know about Windows, but on macOS, it seems that apps are more stable and keep working across new OS iterations. Though, I still fume when I remember how Apple itself changed macOS and unapolo...

No doubt you'll keep us in mind when early-access editions are published? :-)

Skein can use any folder as a starting point, which means you could pick a subfolder of an existing Obsidian vault as the starting point for a new Skein vault. Obsidian won't get upset.
How outlining changes in AI times?

Friends in academia despair of ever receiving original compositions again in their lifetimes. If award-winning novelists can (allegedly) get by without actually writing anything original, then where...

I suppose this is the Draftline we want:

Ahti is also very nice. Thanks for all the tips.
How outlining changes in AI times?

I don't use AI to compose. I'll ask Claude to "give me a 150-word explainer about koala bears", but only use it as a side note, not in my own composition. I allow macOS to check spelling, but neve...

Yes, I downloaded the macOS version, played with it for a hour and deleted it. It reminds me strongly of NValt. I didn't see anything compelling or new. Some bugs, like inserting a wikilink in a ...
